I am starting to get impressed with the literacy on the board. My wife's collection of 1st edition Nancy Drew is not going to cut it.

If that matchup happened it would be the first time and I hope the last time I went all out for Alabama. There, I said it.

Speaking of punish, am I the only one to think the NC committee hammered Clemson in its pairing? Maybe they wanted to get that matchup out of the way in a hurry and avoid a third straight Alabama-Clemson finale, because there is no way on earth, no way, that Oklahoma and Georgia, both of them...

I knew a HS basketball coach who was looking forward to coaching his son. I suggested that might be really difficult, not just the coaching atmosphere, but other players and parents who might see favoritism. He said there was an issue only if the kid was a 'tweener: not really good nor really...

There you have it. We finished No. 1.

I wonder if he wound up at Indiana because Johnson would not release him to play at another ACC school? I suppose Indiana offered him out of HS.

And just think: after a couple of weeks last season Marshall was king of the hill on the board.

And this is where we act surprised?

That is almost exactly what was supposed to happen with the dismissal of Groh, who apparently was trying the unlimited-practice-time pros with 20 hours for college and a lot of chalk work. Easier said than done apparently.

oops.

I do hope you are right because it looks, as my mother would have said, common.

The boy done good. And am I the only one offended by the goofy way the players wear their pants these days, with the kneepads -- or what used to be kneepads -- up over the knee and on the thigh? It's kind of unAmerican or something.

You know, Johnson said when he was a freshman that we would see him in the NFL one day. And I still think the last piece of straw dropped by Richt was that short kickoff in the Buttker game. Bad, bad decision, inexplicable.

Well, it seems that his mike jackets smart alec proved you right. Your memory is better than mine, but don't let it make you cocky.

I believe it is "into the sky". And a hale and hearty handshake if you can remember any of the words to the anthem Mitch Miller wrote to replace that rousing classic -- it was apparently insufficiently martial -- but bombed in all corners. I'll give you the first words ..."They took the blue...

In fairness to Johnson, 40 seconds was too long. I don't disagree with much of your post, though I think he wants a good defense and in his mind has hired established coordinators to get it done, and by their own testimony -- save Groh, who left like a churlish whiner who had no blame attached...

You think he will have leg fatigue by the playoffs? So far he is getting a lot of respect from press, players and coaches. But so far he is nailing them. I could not be a kicker. All you have to miss is one. On the other hand, I always thought placekickers would make good prosecutors or defense...

That is counter-intuitive. Odd, because the AFA, the last I knew, required that all entrants physically qualify for flight. With drones that might have changed, but, big uglies don't do well in cockpits, even cargo or bombers. And fighter pilots are almost always on the average to smaller size...

yes. My hand is up too.

These numbers, as much as anything, tell the story of the spread option offense: Navy had excellent W-L records with a bad defense because it scored a bunch, and Johnson's success with bad defenses is all offense-related. It makes sense to me because Navy (and Army) would have the same...
